\"David Spectator<\/a> blogger Melanie Phillips<\/a> attracts lots of comments after flagging up a “big row” between the BMJ and Israel lobbying organisation Honest Reporting<\/a>. The journal published five Israeli-themed articles last week, one<\/a> of which concluded that Honest Reporting had targeted a hostile email campaign towards the BMJ five years ago.<\/p>\n

Phillips writes: “Without getting into the substance of this argument (except to note, en passant, that co-ordinated and abusive emails are hardly confined to the pro-Israel side of this debate) I merely ask one question: what have the Arab\/Israel impasse and Israel\u2019s military strategy towards the Palestinians got to do with the practice of medicine?”<\/p>\n

In a Guardian Money column about workplace wellbeing, Rebecca Jordan refers to the BMJ longitudinal analysis about happiness being spread through social networks, and “emotion contagion” (happiness rubbing off on each other) not applying to the workplace.<\/p>\n

Jordan, co-founder of a teaching resources <\/a>website, concludes: “Conduct your own longitudinal analysis by marching into the office this week with a huge beaming smile on your face and announcing how happy you are to be there. Watch the reactions of your workmates to see if anyone shows signs of being infected with your contagious happiness.”<\/p>\n
